We will finance you for certain situations with no interest charges. We take all major credit cards. If you have little or no money to pay for the bail premium – we can still work with you – or find you someone that can.
We post bail for all offenses that are eligible for bail. Offenses include drug possession, drug transportation, theft, fraud, assault, domestic violence, traffic warrants, (the list goes on and on)
Warning! Bail bonds written at "a cheap price" violates California law. The cost of bail is set by the Department of Insurance at 10% and 8% of the total bail amount (depending on the surety company), and anything offered at a discounted price is illegal.
Be careful of bondsman who break the law by price-cutting. Consider this – would you want your freedom and money in the hands of someone less than ethical when it comes to a serious situation such as being out on bail. When you are out on bail you are actually in the custody of the bondsman – so be careful who you deal with.
